Spam from Adlandpro was such a problem that I was unable to get rid of it and my ISP offered to remove it. I thought that was the end until I tried to join Linkdin and I was spammed by the worst serial spammer that I had encountered on Adlandpro. I am not alone in my complaints about Linkdin spammers. Another RS member who is an ex Adland pro member suggested making a seperate thread for this topic.

I received a spam e-mail this morning from a person who has been banned from RS. How did this spammer get my primary e-mail address? I only use that address for personal affairs and administration. Nobody at RS has ever been given that address. I did give that address to Adlandpro when I was a newbie because I had registered as an Adlandpro affiliate. Bogdan Fiedur claimed that he needed an administrative address in order to pay his affiliates by PayPal. This information has leaked out of Adlandpro and it is being misused in spam e-mails from Linkedin. What can be done to inform Linkedin?

How does one deal with these serial spammers from Adlandpro and possibly other communities. One thread which could throw some light on this matter is the RS thread about

Priceless Possibilities. (http://www.realscam.com/f9/priceless-possibilities-anyone-researched-2059/)
